Reintroduction of an Endangered Butterfly, the Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis)
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We reintroduced Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis), an endangered skipper butterfly, at different life‐stages to restored oak savanna habitat in Ontario, Canada and then performed intensive post‐release monitoring. Our results show that, at one of three sites, a population was established within two years of initiating releases and that pupae and ...

Biohybrid Tendons Enhance the Power‐to‐Weight Ratio and Modularity of Muscle‐Powered Robots
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.Biohybrid robots powered by skeletal muscle actuators are capable of dynamically adapting to environmental cues. This study takes inspiration from native muscle–tendon architecture by leveraging tough hydrogels as synthetic tendons for muscle actuators to enhance the power‐to‐weight ratio and modularity of biohybrid machines.

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2026.Abstract The presence of vegetation in aquatic environments alters hydrodynamics and sediment resuspension. A recent paradigm has suggested that turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) serves as a better predictor of sediment transport in aquatic canopies than bed shear stress.

Directed Navigation of Magnetotactic Bacteria via Magnetotaxis in a 3D Vasculature‐On‐A‐Chip
Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 4, 19 February 2026.A perfusable vascular network is developed to investigate MTB at the single‐microorganism level. MTB is demonstrated to successfully align and navigate along the magnetic field inside the microvessels. Abstract Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB), inherently motile and self‐powered, are promising biorobotic candidates for targeted anti‐cancer drug delivery ...

Experimental Evaluation of Prototype Seismic Retrofits for Precast Concrete Hollow‐Core Floors
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.Existing hollow‐core floors are vulnerable to nonductile failure and potential collapse under earthquake loading. This study presents the development and experimental evaluation of novel comprehensive seismic retrofits for hollow‐core floors. These retrofits include a strongback‐type retrofit that provides an alternative gravity load path through steel

Terahertz All‐Dielectric Maxwell Fisheye Lens Waveguide Crossings via Transformation Optics
Laser &Photonics Reviews, Volume 20, Issue 4, 19 February 2026.All‐silicon terahertz waveguide crossings based on Maxwell fisheye lenses are reshaped using transformation optics to interface with planar waveguides while reducing mode mismatch. Realized via subwavelength perforations in a single etching step, 2 × 2 and 3 × 3 crossings achieve broadband transmission with low loss and ultralow crosstalk across 220 ...
